About

Aselsan is Turkey's leading defense electronics company, headquartered in Ankara. Together with TOBB University of Economics and Technology (TOBB ETU), it developed QuanT, Turkey's first domestically produced quantum computer. The 5-qubit system was unveiled on November 21, 2024, at the TOBB ETU Technology Center, making Turkey one of the few countries with quantum computer technology. QuanT operates millions of times faster than conventional computers, with implications for cryptography, AI, and optimization. Aselsan and TOBB ETU established a quantum technologies research laboratory in 2022 with support from the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB), and Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz described QuanT as historic for Turkey. The two organizations are also building a Superconducting Chip Manufacturing Facility to strengthen quantum computing technologies and enable domestic production of superconducting chips.
